I think you should add Mary Marvel to the team, just to give the team some toughness. Besides, I think Mary needs the Gail makeover. Transform her from some mousy unsure little girly-girl into a determined confident butt-kicker.

Gail writing Mary Marvel---YAY. Gail writing Supergirl---YAY. Give those two gals some friends they can love and depend upon. Friends help friends evolve and they uplift each other. Supergirl gets stared at; she doesn't get talked with. It'd be great to see.
And, Crime Doctor's daughter = future superhero redeeming the family name maybe? BoP influence and all. Those wacky chicks.

No you're doing great! :) My French is a little rusty too only because I don't get to use it often. On top of that I speak Belgian French which has it's little quirks that are different from Canadian or Parisian French. It's nice to practice though.

Very cool. I'd love to hear Belgian French. There are a couple of different dialects around Québec, but I suspect they're very different from Belgian...they are from Parisian, after all.
I'm curious about the quirks, now.... O_O
One correction: 'Je campais' is the past tense of 'I was camping'. ;)
Ah, but in Québec French, 'camping' is a noun, rather than a verb...(gerund would be the specific term, I think). At least, to the best of my knowledge. :) Ex: Je fais le camping.

I didn't know that! Now if I ever go camping in Canada I won't embarrassed myself.
The funniest difference between Parisian French and Belgian French is you know the noun 'kiss' is 'baiser' but to use it as a verb you use 'embrasser'? In Belgium they use 'baiser' as to kiss also. The first time I heard it I was completely blown away because if you use 'baiser' as a verb it means something really dirty. Is that the same in Canda?
